The San Francisco Bay Area is still home to a rich cinephilic culture nurtured in large part by a diverse array of cinemas, programmers and moviegoers. I'm honored to present a selection of favorite screenings experienced by local cinephiles in 2015. An index of participants can be found here.

All at the Castro, I ended the year with: Cyd Charisse elongated
Singin' in the Rain and
The Band Wagon. This pair of musicals dipped into dance and song with script dadafying zeal.
Breakfast at Tiffany's had Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard as courtesan and gigolo, respectively. A hilarious party scene and Hepburn singing and (really!) playing guitar on "Moon River" were among my favorite moments in this interesting film.
